Things I liked:amount of shot it hold and the single or double action is nice and it's weight makes it feel like an original, Very Nice overall.Things I would have changed:Definitely change the magazine spring loading knob, it's flat and does not lock in very easy to allow loading BB's or it's broke?What others should know:It's a great buy thou from Pyramyd Air.

Things I liked:It has great looks and feel. It is packaged in a box instead of a plastic package.Things I would have changed:I would change the CO2 screw to one less visible.What others should know:Mine shoots a bit high with the rear site adjusted all the way down. I can still shoot pretty accurately shooting single action.

Things I liked:Balance, Feel, Looks, single and double actionThings I would have changed:nothingWhat others should know:This is a very fun pistol to shoot. It's definitely one of my favorites. Accuracy is very repeatable shot after shot.

If I have 2 or 3 magazines to use, doesn't that mean I would have to use a CO2 cartridge for each? What is the advantage to multiple magazines when you have to reload each anyway?

Cory from USA:

Many people like to reload the magazines then shoot more shots in a string before breaking concentration and reloading again.

Tyler from USA:

That is correct. Having multiple mags would allow you pre-load the magazines before going out to shoot and allow you to quickly change between magazines without having to pause to reload after each one. Often times shooters looking to replicate mag changes for competition will buy and use a few at a time.
